Jabra, a global leader in true wireless sound and hybrid work solutions, is unveiling the Elite 8 Active Gen 2 and Elite 10 Gen 2 earbuds. Building upon the same great design and success of their predecessors, these next-generation earbuds come with enhancements that strengthen the audio experience.
This includes the world's first LE Audio smart case, enhanced spatial sound powered by Dolby Audio for a better music experience, and enhanced Natural HearThrough for better awareness when outdoors. Jabra's Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) has also been made even stronger with improved mid- and low-frequency noise cancellation.
Streaming anywhere
Jabra has looked beyond the earbuds themselves, engineering the world's first LE Audio smart case. With an innovative design featuring dual USB-C and 3.5 mm jack compatibility, the Elite 8 Active and Elite 10 Gen 2 prioritize universal streaming and connectivity at the press of a button.
Integrated seamlessly into the case, the built-in chip enables users to effortlessly connect and stream audio from a variety of devices directly to their earbuds. With lower latency than standard Bluetooth connections from case to buds, users can experience better audio and video sync, alongside Hi-fi sound quality, courtesy of the LC3 codec. The 2-in-1 cable transforms the smart charging case into a versatile adaptor that can be plugged into any device. Whether on a flight, treadmill or at home watching TV, users can simply plug in the case to enjoy spatial sound streaming directly to their earbuds.
New dimension of audio experience
The Elite 8 Active Gen 2 and Elite 10 Gen 2 open up a new dimension to the audio experience, with improved spatial sound tuning and Dolby Atmos support, as well as new spatial sound benefits across a wider range of content, including podcasts. In blind tests, 95% of respondents preferred the spatial sound tuning delivered with Gen 2.
Jabra's next-generation earbuds also offer an improved call performance with 6-microphone call technology and enhanced AI call algorithms. The microphones distinguish which sounds are background noise and prioritize the spoken voice. Effective noise-reduction algorithms are automatically switched on to provide a clear call performance depending on the activity or location, ensuring high speech clarity.
Jabra has also improved the Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which can block up to twice as much noise as previous generations. The noise reduction performance of the internal feedback microphone has been increased to provide a better ANC effect for noises in the mid- and low-frequency range.
Furthermore, the Adaptive ANC algorithms have been enhanced to maximize the adaptive effect for more users. The result is stronger noise cancellation in multiple scenarios, including aircraft and background noise at the gym.
The Elite 8 Active Gen 2 and Elite 10 Gen 2 also provide increased situational (or outdoor) awareness with new Natural HearThrough which is optimized for wind noise reduction and is twice as effective as the previous generation. Thanks to smart algorithms that increase the frequency range of HearThrough, the surrounding ambient sounds now appear clearer and more natural, while wind noise and whistling are noticeably reduced.
Ehtisham Rabbani, Chief Executive of the Gaming & Consumer Division at Jabra said, "With these next generation buds we've stepped up those features which we know matter most - improved noise-cancelling and enhanced situational awareness - while for the first time bringing innovative LE Audio streaming functionality to the charging case, making it possible to connect to just about anything, anywhere."
Elite 8 Active Gen 2: MRSP $229, available in Navy, Black & two new colors (Coral and Olive), Mid-June 2024. Find out more here: www.jabra.com/elite8activegen2
Elite 10 Gen 2: MRSP $279, available in Titanium Black, Gloss Black, Cocoa and two new colors (Denim and Soft White), Mid-June 2024. Find out more here: www.jabra.com/elite10gen2
